Chi Qingchi glanced at the three male classmates.
The quick-witted one immediately spoke up:
"Good evening, everyone. My sister and I are done shopping—you guys can keep waiting in line."
With that,
he pulled his sister away from the scene.
The three boys had expected the twins' "aloof" attitude.
This was how they acted at school too.
Outside campus, the distance only felt more pronounced.
The lanky Gao Yumin stared at the sisters' retreating figures for a long moment before grinning:
"Hey, which of the twins do you think is prettier—the older sister or the younger one?"
The short, dark-skinned Gou Feng gave him a puzzled look:
"When did you go blind? They look exactly the same!"
Zhao Bin shot him a disdainful glance:
"Other than obsessing over laundry, what else are you good for?"
"No two people are completely identical, not even twins! The differences are obvious!"
"I think the younger sister is cuter—total kawaii vibes, heh."
Gao Yumin wagged a finger:
"Hard disagree. The older sister is the real prize."
"That icy demeanor of hers… damn, it sends chills right to your soul!"
"That kind of girl is way more satisfying to conquer, you know?"
The moment he said this,
his two friends' expressions shifted dramatically.
Gou Feng: "Damn, kid, I respect your audacity!"
Zhao Bin: "I’m telling the class monitor you’re eyeing his crush!"
Gou Feng: "Yeah, I heard it too—he even shuddered talking about her."
Zhao Bin: "Ooooh, someone’s playing with fire~"
Gao Yumin effortlessly hoisted a case of beer to shoulder height:
"Go ahead and snitch if you’re itching for a beating. You guys wouldn’t get it—I’m just appreciating beauty."
"Two years in college without a girlfriend—explaining this to you is pointless."
Zhao Bin: "At least I’ve tried pursuing someone, even if it was just flirting. But Dog Bro here…"
Gou Feng: "Shut the hell up! Am I the only one in our class who’s never dated? Quit bringing it up every time… Lin Yu?!"
Zhao Bin: "Can you even name someone worse off? With his circumstances… everyone knows. What girl in her right mind would date him?"
Gao Yumin: "No need to attack him like that. Dog Bro’s clinging to his last shred of dignity—let him have it, haha!"
Gou Feng: "I’m talking about over there! Our classmate Lin Yu!"
Only then did Dog Bro and his two buddies simultaneously turn their gaze toward the middle of the street.
The three college students had no idea:
When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back.
…
One minute earlier.
[Ding!]
[Crisis Alert: Members of the Blazing Abyss cult have been detected nearby. Some fellow sect members are already being targeted. Host, remain vigilant and respond carefully!]
Mr. Lin, an ordinary citizen returning from grocery shopping, suddenly heard the system notification.
Having previously battled "Outsider Demons,"
he knew the enemy was close.
But pinpointing them in this bustling, crowded street was no easy task.
Lin Yu steadied himself, pushing his super-vision and super-hearing abilities to their limits.
He scanned every passerby with meticulous focus.
Then the name "Lin Yu" drifted into his ears.
His attention snapped to the trio of vaguely familiar guys in front of the fried chicken stand.
Thankfully, he’d done his homework today.
Otherwise, recognizing classmates he hadn’t seen in over a decade—especially male ones—would’ve been impossible at a glance!
Dog Bro, Tall Gao, Old Zhao!
Nicknames always stuck better than real names.
These three shared a dorm with the class monitor, Shi Yanhai, forming an inseparable little clique.
[Members of the Blazing Abyss cult]…
Class Monitor Shi Yanhai…
Now, Lin Yu had a pretty good idea who today’s "demon troupe" referred to!
After Gou Feng’s shout of "Lin Yu,"
the comments from Gao Yumin and Zhao Bin didn’t escape his ears either.
Lin Yu felt nothing.
Given his past life’s experiences and background, he knew he belonged to the "minority group" that girls in film school would never glance at twice.
He was self-aware enough to accept that.
In his past life, hearing such remarks might’ve stung.
But now…
Ah, youth. If you can’t find love at the peak of your attractiveness, good luck later.
Besides,
Lin Yu now had his sweet, devoted Xiao Fufu by his side!
"Watch your step."
Lin Yu gently guided Ye Mengfu’s arm to steer her through the jostling crowd.
[Ding!]
[Masterstroke Move: A subtle act of daily care warms your dao companion’s heart!]
[Reward: 50 spirit stones]
[Ding!]
[Critical Hit: Intimate gesture with an ethereal beauty delivers a devastating blow to the Blazing Abyss cult members who underestimated the host!]
[Reward: 20 spirit stones, 20 spirit stones, 20 spirit stones]
Here it comes.
That familiar feeling is back!
The happiest two-for-one deal:
Sweet and sour, with a side of braised flavor!
Still, what a shame…
Why are there only four in their dorm?
Lin Yu suppressed a smirk, eagerly anticipating this "chance encounter."
To ensure his former classmates had enough time to react,
he deliberately slowed his pace.
Gao Yumin, with the clearest line of sight, saw it first.
He blurted out in disbelief:
"Holy shit, it really is Lin Yu!"
"Who’s that bombshell next to him? Someone from our school?"
"Wait—is he actually holding her hand? Did they just—kiss?!"
Zhao Bin craned his neck like a wobbling goat, straining for a better view:
"I thought I was hallucinating—did he just pull her arm?!"
"Since when did Lin Yu get a girlfriend?"
"Must be from another school. Does she not know his family situation?"
"Damn, she’s giving the twins a run for their money—and that figure? Absolute knockout!"
Gou Feng’s eyes practically shot flames.
This wasn’t just about losing his "bottom-of-the-barrel" buddy.
The way the girl shyly fidgeted, demure and gentle…
She was the exact type he’d searched for in vain throughout film school!
How…
How the hell did Lin Yu land her?!
With his mediocre grades?
His less-than-ideal family background?
His quiet, unassuming personality?
"Lin Yu! Yu! Over here!"
Gou Feng cupped his hands around his mouth, shouting loud enough to pierce the crowd.
Gao Yumin: "Wait—Dog Bro, why the hell are you calling him? Trying to invite him to eat? You think Hai-ge would agree?"
Zhao Bin: "Dog Bro, don’t tell me you… just want a whiff?"
Gou Feng immediately snapped back:
"Shut the fuck up, both of you! Maybe they’re not even together."
"What’s wrong with saying hi to a classmate?"
His desperate shouts didn’t just reach Lin Yu—
even Ye Mengfu heard them.
Ye Mengfu: "Um, I think someone’s…"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yeah. Just… some classmates. Let’s go say hello."
Ye Mengfu: "!!!"
M-meet Lin Yu’s classmates?!
Ye Mengfu was completely unprepared!
Yet before she could process it,
she was already being led toward the sidewalk.
But she wasn’t the only one caught off guard.
Gou Feng noticed the two were getting closer and closer.
When the distance was less than a meter,
his daily habit kicked in, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath...
Gou Feng: "!!!"
Vital 28 Lavender Fragrance Laundry Detergent, Green Umbrella Rose-Scented Softener...
Not many people in Pingchuan use these two products...
But this scent...
It was coming from Lin Yu!
esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
